Use of https in terminal fails [on hold]

Use of http in terminal seems to work fine.



But when I tried the same using https, it fails.



When I try to get the same location with wget. http works but https results in error - ERROR: Can not verify certificate attribute and fails.



There seems to be no problem with proxy, everything is configured properly.



Its not only wget even yum command and all other commands fails with https.
Can someone explain the cause of this?

  • Can you share the failing command you are executing? The error seems to point to a CA missing in your systems trusted certificate store.

  • Are you very sure the error does not say "certificate authority"? This is usually 80% server error – the server is supposed to send not only its own certificate, but also intermediate certificates (think re-sellers) up to a small-ish list of trustworthy root authorities, a list of which is managed by your distribution. In the other 20%, the client does not know the root authority the server is using.

  • A quick workaround could probably be --no-check-certificate

  • @Peschke I have placed the certificate in the certificate store. In centos its /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ . But still results in error.

  • @UlrichSchwarz . It seems to work properly for other machines. So there is no problem with server i guess. Can you explain me about the client side error?

Yes, you could take @panki(from comment) advice and use the --no-check-certificate option for wget, but that would be bad. Don’t get accustomed to avoiding errors by suppressing them.



You need to use openssl s_client to discover the certificate’s chain (of example.com website) :



openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -debug


Once you’ve figured out what the certificate chain looks like, then check your main certificate file, probably named cert.pem. Check to see if the certificates required by the site you’re trying to wget is in your certificate file. If not, you’ll need to acquire them and either append them to your main certificate file, or create a separate file and point to it with your wget command using the --ca-certificate option.
